“The greatest difficulty railway interests have to contend with in Scotland is the unreasonable demands, - nay, the avaricious cupidity of the owners of the soil. The most sterile patch of the Ochills (sic), the bleakest moor in Nithsdale, the craggiest acre within the shade of the Grampians, touch it by a railway, and you will hear of land valued at £3 per acre that never yielded as much grass as would suffice for a week’s summer keep to a Shetland pony.”
